"You have to dominate, if you don’t dominate you’re wasting your time. They're going to run over you, you’re going to look like a bunch of jerks. You have to dominate." In audio obtained by @CBSNEws, Trump tells governors: "Washington was under very good control, but we’re going to have it under much more control. We're going to pull in thousands of people."

MORE: Trump tells governors: "You've got to arrest people, you have to track people, you have to put them in jail for 10 years and you'll never see this stuff again," per audio obtained by

One person listening in on the call describes the president's words and tone as "unhinged."

On the call, Trump references Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Milley and Attorney General Bill Barr. "We will activate Bill Barr and activate him very strongly," Trump says.

MORE: Trump tells governors later: "You're making a mistake because you're making yourselves look like fools. And some have done a great job. But a lot of you, it's not -- it's not a great day for our country."

TRUMP ADDS: "You know when other countries watch this, they're watching this, the next day wow, they’re really a push over. And we can't be a push over. And we have all the resources -- it's not like we don't have the resources. So, I don't know what you're doing."

“obtained by CBS”.... purposely leaked to these idiots. The call in clear to idiot dem governors and Target CEOs who are still “virtue signalling” while their cities and stores are burned and looted. Elections are coming. Trump is doing them a favor.

“””One person listening in on the call describes the president’s words and tone as “unhinged.” “””””””””

Apparently this one person has never heard the sound of giant clanging balls before.

This is who leaked the call within minutes. His “tone” scared the little snowflake apparently.

The semi literate Mayor of Boston (formerly a knuckledragging union thug) is basically praising the thugs for the bravery and solidarity.Of course nobody who knows the city is surprised by this.

Probably won’t happen by Nov but I do worry that a lot of dems will move to red areas and turn them purple or purple areas and turn them blue because of this.

= = =

Sure, Fake News Media....in your upside down world, the President wanting law and order restored, is considered ‘unhinged’.

We the People know exactly who is unhinged....and, it’s NOT President Trump.

Think about the way Dan Rather (during his days at CBS) was allegedly very much a demanding bully towards his subordinates. I wonder if CBS considered his behaviour “unhinged” in a number of instances?

Uhhhhh...if you obtained the audio, SeeBS, why are you relying on someone’s characterization of it?

I think I have about had it with Eugene Oregon. Our kids have wanted us to move to Rogue River and that is looking more attractive. The article I linked to lists the cities where riots/demonstrations (?) are occurring. Now we can add Eugene to the list of cities with violent protests and the same political disease. Do you see a pattern here? These seem more like planned than spontaneous events.; like there was a community organizer involved. Here is the link and list of cities.

All National Guard units will be federalized and under his control by COB today. This is his way of letting them know it. With Barr and Milley there it is a forgone conclusion.

Probably so. In some cities after riots in previous years, huge numbers of people moved out. In some cities bombed out riot zones stayed that way for many years after riots.

It almost seems as though De.ocrat officials are using these mobs to punish the voters for not embracing the surveillance society and Green New Deal.

But that would be unthinkable, right?

[you have to put them in jail for 10 years]

I vote for 25 years for the rioters and arsonists.

Pack ‘em until it’s SRO. Yeah, toss in a flat screen so they can watch “Ellen”. And “The View”.
